The water compartment 500 can under the ice compartment 400 be installed so as not to be in the radius of rotation of the ice guide rib 900 to be arranged.

Alternatively, the water compartment 500 have a fan shape and a second center angle (θ2) of the water compartment 500 may be smaller than the first center angle (θ1) of the freezer compartment 600 , This is because it does not require the non-frozen water in the water compartment 500 save as the drainage path 502 with the water compartment 500 connected is.

The apparatus for creating cockroach ice may further include an ice storage 910 located under the ice guide rib 900 is provided.

The ice storage 910 has an open top and a predefined depth to keep the Shaved Ice (SI) from the icebox 600 falls. Accordingly, the user can do this in the ice storage 910 Use preserved shaved ice (SI).

The ice storage 910 can in a surface of the bottom plate 704 be provided and removable to increase the ease of use for the user.

9 Fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the sprayed water in the apparatus for producing cockroach ice becomes ice, and 10 Fig. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state in which cockroach ice is taken out of a freezing compartment into the apparatus for producing cockroach ice.

With reference to 9 and 10 The operation of the apparatus for producing cockroach ice will be described.

With reference to 9a For example, a signal requesting the production of cockroach ice is input by a user's request or a predefined program, and the ice making component 100 is cooled by the refrigeration cycle system. Thus, the shaft rotates 200 in a counterclockwise direction, and the water spray component 300 sprays water to the inner wall of the ice making component 100. As in 9b As shown, the sprayed water is uniformly attached to the inner wall of the ice making component 100 distributed through the routing 310 and the cooled ice making component 100 make the ice cream (I) When the wave 200 rotated by 180 °, the cutting component cuts 400 the ice (I) attached to the inner wall of the ice making component 100 was produced to produce cockroach ice (SI). The generated cockroach ice (SI) falls down and accumulates in the ice compartment 600.

The water spray component 300 and the cutting component 400 form 180 °, so that water does not directly contact the inner wall of the ice making component 100 can be sprayed, from which the ice through the cutting component 400 can be cut off and given time to cool the water by means of the refrigeration cycle system until the water is sprayed again from the oppositely disposed Wassersprühkomponente 300. Accordingly, it can be minimized that the on the ice making component 100 sprayed water does not freeze to form the non-frozen water.

As in 10a This may be due to the cutting component 400 cut and falling cockroach ice (SI) in the ice compartment 600 pile up. As in 10b pictured, the icebox 600 That along with the wave 200 or the hollow shaft 220 rotates counterclockwise, the fixed ice guide rib 900 meet and the ice guide rib 900 can be the inside of the freezer 600 traverse. The ice guide rib 900 Can you get the cockroach (SI) from the freezer 600 push out and spend the cockroach ice to the outside. The issued cockroach ice (SI) can be stored in ice storage 910 stored and used as needed.
